Starting Fire with Cattails

Filmed in 2009, this legacy video shows adventurer Wolfmaan showing how to use cattails (Typha domingensis) and a ferrocerium rod to start a fire. This technique can be used in a survival situation, or to start a fire anywhere that cattails are present.

The forest is my chapel.
The trees are the pillars and walls of an endless cathedral.
The wind in the trees is my choir.
The land gives me water for my thirst and food for my famine.
My blades grant me safe passage
give me food and make my shelter.
Nature is my religion and I am her preacher
